DaYitt Branch.

Owing to the inclemencY of the
weather, and other circumstances not
necessary to state, the attendance at
the meeting of Davitt Branch in Win
dom Hall last Sunday evening was not
80 large as on former occasions. How
ever, what it lacked in numbers was
made up in the enthusiasm of those
who were fortunate enough to be pres
ent; at the usual hour President Mac
Hale called the meeting to order, after
which the minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved. DR.. j. H.
Dunn and p. III. McPartlin handed
over $1OO each to the treasurer, as
membership dues for the ensuing year
The programme was then begun by
Miss Lizzie Burke, who favored the
audience with a reading entitled ''Mar-
ried for Love-" and which was deserv-
edly we'll received. Mr.. McNulty
threw some light on the situa-
tion in a lucid, forcible manner, after
which DR.. Dunn was called to the front
to tell the audience something about
his extensive travels on the Continent.
The doctor entertained his listeners for
quite space of time, and interspersed
his narrrtive with selections from Mark
Twain's Innocence Abroad" The
Quarrel scene between Brutus and Cas-
sius was executed with Forrestian pre-
cision. This closed an excellent enter
tainment, and we can assure those who
were absent that they missed treat.
The committee on programme an
nounced that the literary entertain
ment to which we have before referred
in these columns, would be given about
the 18th Of January. We might just
mention that the committee having the
matter in hand are perfecting arrange
ments which will make this entertain
ment the event of the season. The
best local talent has been secured, and
others from a distance have signi6ed
their intention to lend a helping hand
towards making it a grand success.
The meeting adjourned, all highly
pleased that they did not have the mis-
fortune to be absent. The following is
the programme for next Sunday even
ing:

Rev. James McGolrick, Miss Kate

in marriage, Rev. Father Tracey offici-

they will visit among friends for a
brief period, after which they will pro-
ceed to their future home, Great Falls.
While in the Union depot waiting
for the n. P. train which was to leave
Minneapolis at 4:35 p. M, many of the
young friends of the bride came to bid
her fervent adieu. There, too, was
noticed Mr.. and Mrs. Terrence Connolly,
who have known Mrs. Myers from
childhood and respected her for her
sterling worth. 1t is needless to speak
in detail here of the large number Of
useful and excellent presents that were
rendered to the bride following her
marriage. Suffice it to say that they
were given heartily to one whom they
felt deserving of the most kindly recog-
milton at their hands.
